European Jewish Statistics

I. PREFACE

The numerical recording of Jewry and its
development are necessary for setting up a statistic representation of the
results on the way to the solution of the Jewish problem. The contradictions in
Jewish figures make preliminary remarks necessary to the effect that the
numerical data of Jewry are always to be accepted only with reservations and
that lack of knowledge about the origin and source of these data can lead to
false conclusions. The sources of error are above all to be found in the nature
of Jewry and its historical development [sic], the many thousands of years of
restless wandering, the numerous conversions to and from Judaism, the efforts
of the Jews to integrate, the interbreeding with the native populations, the
efforts of the Jews to avoid registration and lastly in erroneous or falsely
interpreted statistics of Jewry.

Moreover, up to now, partly due to the
large degree of overlap between the Jewish religion and the Jewish race,
ignorance of racial theory, and partly due to being caught up in the religious
thought of the times, Jewish statistics have never been compiled on the basis
of race but rather on the basis of religion. The classification of the race
presupposes many years of training and a knowledge of genealogy. It was also
difficult, particualarly in southern and eastern countries, despite this
overlap, to isolate a homogeneous Jewish race statistically. The avowal of
Moasic or Jewish faith is also no foolproof evidence, because as a result of
the former Jewish missionary movement with its conversions of masses of
heathens and Christians, also because of changes of faith in modern times via
mixed marriages and "conversions", there are more than a few people of Jewish
faith who are not racially Jewish. On the other hand compulsory Christianity in
the last century and the increase in baptized Jews and non practiseing [sic]
Jews have reduced their
